The Unknown
I always think I know what my next move will be. Just when I think I have things figured out, life throws me a curve ball. I know that it's all part of the roller coaster, just another fork in the path of life. But how do you determine which road to take?
You always want to make the preeminent choice, but how do you come to that? Assessing your options is not always an easy task at hand. There is always the preferred choice, but does it only seem preferred because it's uncomplicated and it's what society expects of you? Or is it because it's the path that has been traveled before and is what's comfortable?
How do you muster up the courage to select the unknown?
To make a decision that contradicts what society thought you represented could turn out to be more problematic than making that preferred choice. So is it worth it?
The answer is YES!
It may seem more tranquil to pick the preferred choice, but to whom is it preferred is the question you need to ask yourself. Just because society, or should I say friends, family, and others surrounding you think you should make a particular choice, doesn't mean it's superlative. Only you know what you need. Your loved ones do try to look out for your best interest, however, only you know your life. Only you know what is ultimately going to make you happy. You don't live for others, so even though those who surround you may think you may be making an incompetent choice, hopefully they will soon comprehend that you also want whats best for you, and that you, and only you, know what's in your heart. And sometimes following your heart could become tricky, but other times it seems to be the only entity necessary in making a bold decision.
I do understand that some of us make irrational mistakes, but if you are clearly analyzing a situation, it is up to you to come to a conclusion.
And if for some reason the resolution you come to ends up being the imperfect choice, all you can do is learn from it and move forward. Those who do love you will be there to support and assist you instead of saying, "I told you so". Those who act condescending will still not be heard in the future because they are truly not looking out for your best interest, but will only be seeking gratification from your imperfections.
And if the resolution you come to does end up being the perfect choice, you will be one step closer to realizing what makes you happy and those who love you will still be there to support you. Those who opposed your decision will be envious that you are satisfied outside their bubble.
The only downfall in making a sole and self decision may come if it involves the life of others. But all you can do is hope that they trust you in the future that you did make what you thought was the most beneficial decision for their life as well.
